Both Tuomisto and Shai Buium’s development at Denver has been a disappointment.

The most important advantage Europe had for Tuomisto’s was probably Niklas Kronwall, who’s turned into a development wizard for the Red Wings’ prospects. They’ve all seen significant progress when working with Kronwall. I can’t wait to see what he can accomplish with Sandin Pellikka. Kronwall has found a way to coordinate his development program in Sweden without creating any confusion for the player or coaches. I’m not sure Shai Buium made the correct choice to stay at Denver this season.

I think you are right . A big help will be Alex Lyon, whi is an NHL goalie Their goaltending last year was poor last year until Alex Nedelkjovic came from Detroit.He played very well for them and gave them NHL goaltending. If he had been there all year the Griffs probably wound have made the plyoffs. Brattstrom and Okinara were not really even American League caliber.Lyon will give them what Ned gave them last year. He will also mentor our young goalie Cossa in his first year in the AHL.
